Missing the Rain
/
"Rain. Rain. Go away...I mean, come BAAAACK!" You never hear kids singing that song around here. I'm really missing the rain today, so I decided to share with you my ultimate rain boots.
None other than Hunter Wellingtons. =)
Gap Premium Denim
/
You may have seen loads of advertisements lately for Gap Premium Denim. Let me tell ya, it's definitely all it's cracked up to be. I always buy Gap jeans, but I'm really liking these cuts of denim. I bought some premium skinny jeans a couple weeks ago and I love them. Polyvore.com held a contest for Gap called, "Born to..." I created a look that described what I'm born to do.
I said that I'm born to learn because that's exactly what I love doing every day. I love learning about God, fashion, people, music, art...you name it. It might be cheesy, but it's true. I used items that reminded me of college. Simple and comfortable.
FIDM Update
/
Welp, yesterday was a sad disappointing day for a lot of reasons, but one of them was FIDM. I got a bill for tuition in the mail for fall semester, which led me to email my adviser saying that there was no way that we were going to start paying tuition w/o having jobs secured in California. So, she officially unrolled me from FIDM for Fall 2009. I have up to one year to reinstate until I have to re-apply to the design program.
We knew that this was probably going to be the case earlier this summer and decided to book a trip to San Fran in October to get a better feel of the FIDM SF campus and city, but nonetheless, it just really sucks to see an email from your adviser saying, "Keep in touch." Don't know if school will ever happen for me at this point. The reality of Ryan finding a job that pays enough for me to work only part-time at the most and paying tuition of $27,000 a year is pretty out there.
So, my action plan now is taking sewing lessons with a local lady from Joy Studio and applying to marketing, communications, and public relations jobs fashion and beauty companies across the United States. So, if you see or hear of anything, let me know.

Olive Juice Kids

Olive Juice Kids is a clothing company that I stumbled across this morning, and I'm so glad I did. Take Crew Cuts and add more of a Parisian influence and you have Olive Juice. I want to wear these clothes as an adult! Man, when I have children Crew Cuts and Olive Juice...(crossing my fingers that it doesn't backfire into Goth when adolescence hits)
Project Runway All-Stars
/
This morning I woke up from a blissful sleep because last night I watched three full hours of Project Runway!!! My sister-in-law, Nicky and I are die-hard fans of the show. (We're currently in the process of converting our soon-to-be sister-in-law Yasmine too...we initiated her last night. haha.) However as much as I adore the show and it's new location (FIDM), it always makes me angry that my favorites end up as runner ups...
Last night was yet another example of frustration...Daniel won the all-star challenge (blah) and Korto was the runner up...grrrr! Granted, Daniel's clothes were innovative and displayed great attention to detail, but Korto's designs are wearable, chic and well-made. Not to mention, her restaurant look (made of only materials found in a restaurant) was SO creative. Here are the looks below...Who do you think should have won?
